Wang Xiushu knows in her heart that the old lady's promise to go back to Xiaoniu village is due to Ruan Tianqi's face. Although she became a princess, she was also the daughter-in-law of Pingnan Marquis's house. The old lady's identity was naturally higher than that of Wang Xiushu. It was a pity to let Wang Xiushu go back to her mother's home. How could Wang Xiushu put her nose on her face.
Now, housekeeper Mo is in a hurry. Let them hurry up. The old lady must be worried. If Wang Xiushu guesses correctly, Ruan Juan and his aunts must be fanning the flames in front of the old lady and making her angry. Although the old lady has her own opinions, she is no more than a woman after all. She has a soft ear and can't listen to gossip.
What's more, she has been on guard against the old lady Wang Xiushu. In a hurry for two days, on the third day, Wang Xiushu's carriage finally arrived in the capital. Wang Xiushu was helped out of the carriage by Ruan Tianqi. She looked up and saw that the familiar boxwood plaque was written with four big words "Pingnan Marquis house". Housekeeper Mo knocked on the magnificent door of Phoebe. A little guy looked out from behind the door and saw that it was housekeeper Mo, so he quickly opened the door.
Wang Xiushu goes in with Ruan Tianqi, and housekeeper Mo stops to talk with the two people: "I'm in a hurry. The young master and the young lady have a rest earlier. I'm going to go with the old lady. The old Marquis first reports that he has come back safely."
Ruan Tianqi nodded. After days of driving, Wang Xiushu's face was tired. Her eyes were dyed red, which was pitiful. Housekeeper Mo left them and walked towards the hall of crane.
Ruan Tianqi saw that Wang Xiushu held on and called Hongxiu to lift the soft sedan chair. Wang Xiushu didn't refuse. She got on the sedan chair and sat on the soft chair. She was tired like a tide and hit Wang Xiushu. Her eyelids were as heavy as a kilo. Wang Xiushu couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep.
When she woke up again, she was wearing a new dress. She rubbed her eyes and saw that Ruan Tianqi had already been dressed in the clothes of the Imperial Army, with silver armor and dignity. Ruan Tianqi took his Sabre and put it around his waist“ Shu'er, you are awake. " Seeing that Wang Xiushu had already got up, Ruan Tianqi led her to the dresser. "You've been sleeping all night, and I'll meet the old lady with you after you wash."
After that, Ruan Tianqi went out. Tea waiting outside the door, see Ruan Tianqi out, she lowered her head into the room, in the copper basin poured hot water to wait on Wang Xiushu dressing. Hongxiu took out a new dress, which was made of silk and satin given to qingfengyuan by the Marquis of Pingnan in 1949. It was wrapped in the pattern of red powder Narcissus, with a little pink. Hongxiu applied rouge to Wang Xiushu's cheeks, which was as delicate as petals.
After dressing up, red sleeves help Wang Xiushu to get up. Ruan Tianqi was waiting outside the door. She saw Wang Xiushu come out like a fairy in a picture. She only saw Wang Xiushu's hands like catkins and her skin like cream. Her eyes looked forward to her smile. Ruan Tianqi raised a doting smile and put Wang Xiushu's hand on his palm.
After seeing Wang Xiushu dressed in plain clothes in Xiaoniu village, he suddenly put on this luxurious dress again, which made Ruan Tianqi shine in front of his eyes.
"Shu'er, you look good dressed like this." Ruan Tianqi exclaimed.
Wang Xiushu glanced at it and said, "you know poverty."
Ruan Tianqi laughs and helps Wang Xiushu into the soft sedan chair. Ruan Tianqi follows him. The snow is slippery. He is afraid that the boys will slip and fall Wang Xiushu from the soft sedan chair. Soft sedan stopped in front of Heming hall, Wang Xiushu got out of the soft sedan, holding Ruan Tianqi's hand and stepping over the high threshold. The weather began to warm up, and the snow gradually melted. The courtyard of Heming hall was cleaning the snow water. When Wang Xiushu and Ruan Tianqi arrived, they immediately told the big girl who was guarding the door.
After a while, a well-dressed maid came out of the inner room and bowed in front of them to salute: "young master, young lady, please come in."
The old lady is drinking morning tea in the hall. They walk into the room and salute the old lady. The old lady gave the teacup to the servant girl and said in a soft voice: "Tianqi, come up, grandma, see if you are thin."
Ruan Tianqi was stunned. After looking at Wang Xiushu beside him, he went to the old lady. The old lady usually talks to Wang Xiushu first to show her love for her granddaughter-in-law, but now she seems to ignore Wang Xiushu. The old lady took Ruan Tianqi's hand and shook her head. There was a twinkle of heartache in her eyes: "you see, I lost weight after only a few days, don't I have enough to eat?"
"Back to the old lady, my grandson has a good time in Xiaoniu village. Xiaoniu village is also my grandson's hometown. I have three meals every day on time." Ruan Tianqi road. But the old lady didn't seem to hear it. She asked, "are you going to report to the palace today? After asking for a few days' leave, there must be a lot of things in the army. You go to the palace quickly. I have something to talk with Xiushu. "
Ruan Tianqi nods. How strange is the old lady's attitude today. If she had wanted to hold Wang Xiushu for a moment before, today she would leave Ruan Tianqi aside first. Ruan Tianqi looked at Wang Xiushu with some worry and asked, "what can't the old lady say in front of Tianqi?"
The old lady shook her head and said with a smile, "look at you, are you afraid that I will eat your daughter-in-law? You can go to the palace with peace of mind. Xiushu and I naturally want to talk about women's daily life. " After that, the old lady stopped and asked Wang Xiushu to come forward. Wang Xiushu stepped forward and nodded to Ruan Tianqi, indicating that he did not need to worry. Ruan Tianqi pondered for a moment, nodded, arched his hand and said, "that day Qi left first."
The old lady nodded, and Ruan Tianqi disappeared outside the hall of crane. Seeing that Ruan Tianqi's figure had gone far away, the old lady looked at Wang Xiushu beside her and asked in a soft voice, "how are your relatives back home this time?"
"Mr. Xie, people are worried about it. It's all very good." Wang Xiushu replied.
The old lady pondered for a moment, and suddenly looked at Wang Xiushu: "Xiushu, why don't you tell me that you've been married?"
Wang Xiushu body a Zheng, the old lady really sent housekeeper Mo to investigate her. Wang Xiushu did not deliberately hide this matter, she has married Ruan Tianqi, past events, she naturally want to seal this ignore. But she still underestimated the old lady, and even suspected to send someone to investigate her: "old lady, although Xiushu married, but Xiushu and her ex husband's family are and leave, did not do anything to lose identity."
"When you married Tianqi, you were not perfect. How could you not lose your status? Now Tianqi is the young master of the Marquis's mansion in Pingnan. If people knew that his wife had married someone else, what would people think? " The old lady is a traditional woman. Although it was stipulated in the Qing Dynasty that the husband and wife and the divorced woman could remarry, it was always a joke for the rich family.
If Wang Xiushu's own status is noble, it's OK for her to remarry to the Marquis's house in Pingnan, but Wang Xiushu is just a village woman and the adopted daughter of King Jin. My ex husband is just a scholar. If such a woman marries Pingnan Marquis's house, she will laugh at her. Pingnan Marquis's house marries the daughter-in-law of a humble scholar.
